Birthday Wishlist...Jewelry edition

As my birthday is coming around the corner I thought I'd post some pieces just in case anyone needs ideas, or if you decide to get something for yourself...

I love receiving jewelry for gifts, it's stands the test of time and can be passed down generation to generation. Precious metals and gems have a long life span if lovingly cared for.

I'll start with Fine Jewelry...

Fine craftmenship and exquisite masterpieces...
Two Butterfly Ring
Socrate Ring
I'll settle for the: Feerie Perfum

Recent Finds...

On sale now!
Fits true to size, the arm length is perfect on me and the jacket is a cropped style
There is no button closure and they do have a #5 pearl pin that is detachable
I chose not to remove the sparkly thread at the edge, too lazy and it didn't bother me that much...

My Verdict: Praiseworthy. First spotted these on Extra Petite. Immediately ordered it in the black and cream ivory(looks more like white in person). I received correspondence the day after, and shipment came the same week(from Korea!). These came much faster then the last jacket I ordered. Love the fit, and versatility. The quality is pretty good considering it cost less than $100. These are perfect casual and dressy. This one is lined with satin lining, whereas the Malang was a heavier lining and would be more for colder weather.
The style: No 5 Tweed JK
Available in 7 colors:
Brown and Navy

Recent Finds...London Drugs

Mabelline Baby Lips in Pink Punch and Peach Kiss $4.99/ea
Prestige My Blackest Lashes

My Verdict: Pass on Mabelline Baby Lips. Heard about this from several youtube gurus. While they smell great, I found my lips to be dry after a couple hours of wear. Packaging boasts 8 hour hydration. Contrary to what the beauty advisor said at LD, the lip balms I purchased were not clear. Pink Punch gives a cool tone pink lip, while Peach kiss is a nude with a hint of shimmer. I will probably give these away to my nieces and stick with my EOS lip balm in Summer Fruit.

Prestige My Blackest Lashes in Blackest Black
* will give an update after a few weeks of wear...
Update:Pass. 2 coats work, anymore than 2 get clumpy. While it's great for volume it doesn't do much else for my short asian lashes.

Am trying out Eve Pearl's Volumizing Mascara in Glamour Jet Black...
Will be posting my thoughts after some wear time..

Trying Out...

Joe Fresh Premium Blending Sponge
Joe Fresh 80 Essential Cosmetic Applicators

On a recent trip to Superstore I spotted the sponge and purchased to try with my tinted moisterizer/foundation. Whilst there I found the q-tips, 1 side is pointed (perfect for getting in the inner eye/tear duct area) while the other end is a flat (ideal for eyeshadow application).
